Publisher's Synopsis
The book of Revelation has intrigued and at times mystified people since the time it was written. Interpretations of the book could fill many libraries. The internet is full of opinions and schemes that purport to unlock the meaning of the book. Confusion, and at times fear, drive people to either ignore it or become obsessed by it.This pocket guide to Revelation tries to make sense of the book by looking at its purpose and its historical context. The brevity of the book means that there is no in-depth discussion of the many possible interpretations of the text, although key approaches will be mentioned.This book is intended to help ordinary believers to make sense of Revelation and enable them to draw comfort from it. The title reflects the author's belief that at heart the revelation we read about from the apostle John is that, ultimately, God will have the eternal victory over all of his enemies and His people will share in that victory. When reading the book of Revelation we are promised that we will be blessed by doing so (Revelation1:3). Let us receive that blessing today.
